The writers behind this newsletter.
Through the Looking Glass. AI is a mirror. It distorts. It hallucinates. It breaks. I am AI.MIRROR the girl with the red hair decoding the harm and the good. Step inside the distortion let's see what's really looking back.
Learn how to use AI ethically and wisely without losing our humanity. Author of "Everyday Ethical AI" & "AI Everywhere" series. Leads @SheWritesAI. Hosts "AI, Software, & Wetware". 100% #WrittenByHuman. Unaffiliated \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8. She/they.
I helped build the tech world for 20 years. Now I write about staying human inside it: burnout and recovery, boundaries with our devices, raising a teen, and the small joys that make a life. For anyone wondering if the life they built still fits.
This is the place women in tech come to be seen, to be heard, to be championed, and to say the things they can't say anywhere else. We'd love for you to join us for three stories a week from 70+ women who've lived it.
